Sloshing sounds after breast reduction and other surgeries are often normal and are from fluids such as irrigation, serum, local anesthesia.They usually resolve in the next week or so. When in doubt have your surgeon make sure that you are healing normally.

Breast Reduction and Hearing Sounds?

Congratulate your sister on having undergone the breast reduction procedure AND for having a concerned sister. Based on the picture, her plastic surgeon has done a nice job for her.

It is not unusual for patients to hear a variety of sounds after breast surgery. There may be a small fluid accumulation that may produce “sloshing” sounds when your sister moves. For more accurate advice and to rule out a fluid accumulation that should be drained, your sister should follow-up with your plastic surgeon.
